You Will Need (7 things)

  • 1 pint fresh Strawberries , stems removed and sliced
  • ⅗ cup Sugar
  • ½ in Water
  • 1 750-ml bottle White Wine (chardonnay or a pinot work well)
  • 3 cup Sparkling Water
  • ½ cup -2/3 cup white Rum
  • About 2 cups sliced Strawberries

Steps (2 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Stir together the water and sugar in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add in the sliced strawberries. Bring the mixture to a light boil and allow for the strawberries to break down as much as possible (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally. Use a fork or potato masher to help break down the strawberries. Remove from the heat. Pour the mixture through a sieve and into a glass pitcher or punch bowl and discard the solids. Allow for the syrup to cool completely.

  2. 2

    Pour the wine, sparkling water, and the rum in with the syrup and stir until everything is well-combined. Add in sliced strawberries (I used almost 1 pint) plus any other fruit you desire. Allow for the sangria to chill for at least 2 hours if not overnight.
